Instead of having Katie climb the ladder every time to hand you a piece of siding. Get a c-clamp pair of vice grips or just a c-clamp, attach it to a long enough piece of rope that reaches the ground. Drop it down to her, have her clamp it to the piece of siding, and pull it up. It’s way faster and way safer. I was a 30 year owner operator roofing contractor in Florida now retired. I used this technique daily to lift tool buckets, water keg, metal panels, rolls of single ply etc up onto the roof. I always strapped my ladders off at roof edge with a 2” wide strip of sheet metal wrapped around ladder rung into roof deck or fascia with a couple self tapping roofing screws into metal screw pattern or into solid decking. Be safe out there. Try it, it speeds up the process. Keep up the good work.
Toattly Agree.
Work smart, not hard...
Great idea!
That is what my roofer did when he was putting the roof iron sheets on the roof last week.
Why don’t you leave your Line stretched out all year?
😢So sorry to see you having to struggle with colds, but your resilience is commendable 😊 Nice work and yes, never take it for granted!!
It’s crazy! Alaska has an extremely cold and snowy winter. Here in New England area it’s been a mild winter with record snow shortages. And no below zero almost halfway through February.
wishing you too well love your show and farm hopping you all get over it soon take care
Yay congrats on the siding finished, and the water line to your home!!! Wishing you both a speedy recovery ❤
My sweet Katie. Felt so awful when I heard you were ill.
And yes, you're man was a trooper to get the water back.
Running to the house. I wish you both Well In the near future❤
THATS so awesome got the wall done hope yall get to feeling better be safe 👍😎
I grew up in the bushes in Lake Cowican on Vancouver Island and took it for granted. I didn't realize I did until I moved to Grande Prairie A.b and lived here for a few years. I'd love to be full time in the wilderness again. We have 160 acres with a creek and trees but it's poplar and is not even close to the same as BC bushes.
Get well soon Katie.
Beautiful. Hope you're both well now. ❤❤
You should cut a clean path were the water line go,s to the spring box to the house so the water line does not get stuck on down trees
Greg, you should run to legs of water pipe with cutoffs or disconnect and switch as needed depending on water availability. The pulling back and forth of the water line is a lot of extra work for nothing. Unless there is something I missed, but way to keep pushing on.
probably economics, but yeah...so much simpler to have two separate lines to switch off from
What a trooper. I would love to trade places with you. Pulling hose through the forest by yourself in the quiet and smelling the earth hearing your heart beat and the crunch of branches under you feet. Love it.
Greg don't feel like you have to put a video out just for us. If you two are sick we can wait until you are well we will still be here waiting patiently for you. Just take care of yourself and my Katie 😉. Get well and as always stay safe and God bless from Missouri. 1:33
Nah dude, Katie is a tough broad. Neither Greg's, yours, or anyone else's.
She's also the editor. Freaking powerhouse of productivity.
But totally, don't make videos when you're sick, silly-billies
Katie you’re such a rockstar and make me proud every time you climb that ladder, use a handsaw, etc…
Hope you get better soon Katie. It's a great idea to put Katie in all the thumbnails. She must draw viewers like honey draws Flys.
Admiration all along and more each time i watch. Get well.
Nature is healing!
Hope you two feel better soon.
That is a wonderful piece of music from 29 minutes to the end of the video. The wall looks fantastic. Store-bought lumber comes through.
Greg and Katie, it must feel so good to finish that wall and have it look so good. The color is fantastic and looks like it fits in with the tree needle colors. Sorry about you both being sick with colds. Hopefully the sun will soon shine and make you both feel much better. Blessings to you two.
Hope you 2 feel better
23 minutes of Greg. I thought I was going to die.
Katie, hope you and Greg feel good soon.❤
Beautiful home. It came out well. Good to see your resilience coming through. Hope everyone is well this Sunday morning. Greg, I'm glad you went back to check that line and to find it was cut off. Thanks for the vid. Peace and stay blessed.
Because of the lack of snow get prepared for spring & summer forest fires, so you should start removiing all trees at least 100' from around your place, the other item the trees should go back 200' to stop a fire from getting at your homes, barns etc.
It’s February 11 in MN and we have no snow either. Scary going out in Public as people seem to have given up on being considerate of others. Nobody masks up anymore. Scares me.
Walking is good but take it easy, you don’t want to get sicker.
Every time you deal with water I thank goodness for wells and municipal water. To me the one drawback to being off grid.
Please be careful working, you really sound awful and that’s worrisome.
Please tell Katie we all wish her a speedy recovery. I don’t think you are grumpy, just sick. Take care of yourselves. Enjoy your piece of Nirvana!
Brilliant finish. It looks really smart. If you want an example of couple bonding in action you only have to watch this channel.
That puppy has gotten so big.
Nothing better than the North Woods . Greg ,Thank you for bringing Bob & I along . We live in the last bit of forest in our area . You & Katie get well Soon 🔜. See you at the meet & greet ?
Have you ever thought of making a Y connection so either of the two water options would lead to your home water line. You could have a shut off valve on the pipes to the two water options to have one turned off when the option is not giving you water. Just an option. Really enjoy the videos that you create.
Had a nasty cold here in Ontario for the longest time. Went right through our family. Hope it does not stay with you two for how long we had it. I was smelling that forest when Greg was showing the video. He is right. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us, all you do. Get well.
So sorry you have been sick.. we have had a bunch of friends come down with RSV this year. It’s no joke. Take good care of yourselves. The wall looks flippin’ AMAZING!!👍
Greg, you are a harder worker sick than I am most healthy days. Congrats on finishing the siding on this side of the house, it looks AMAZING.
Oh, and thanks for the reminder to be grateful for the good things we have even when life isn't exactly what we would wish for- I appreciated that zen moment this morning. Take care, you two!
Sorry you and Katie are sick take a day or 2, feel better.
I have a suggestion. Why don't you all clear all of the stuff off of the path where you have to drag the line? That would remove your problem of having to walk back and forth to unsnag the water line each time that you need to move it. Or better yet, put in a wye fitting and run a separate line to you spring box? That way you don't have to move the line each year. Just plug the end that you're not using for the season to keep critters out of the line when it's not being used. I'm sorry to see and hear that you're both sick. Get well soon my friends.
Fell better soon guys
Siding looks really great,you folks doing a job,have a good time wherever you going Katy,
the water supply can become contaminated. I would imagine you have to test and monitor activity upstream frequently?
Sorry 🙏 Greg And Katie that y'all sick 🤮 speedy recovery keep warm and safe GOD BLESS
looks way better than I ever expected. I really like the ""Rustic"" look it has. Very nice earthy colors. Way to go guys!
Hey lady, GET BETTER!! You need your health to run your homestead. Luv yur way (Fuzzy kids too) Me southern AZ.
sorry you guys were sick. Hope you are better not in mid February. Happy days..........siding done on that wall.
Hope you are both well and happy soon.
That's awesome!! Keep up the hard work 💪!! It always pays off in the long run!!
I would be splicing into that water hose and putting a y connection in and putting a shut of valve in each direction and just leave it connected to both water sources and that would save you sooo much work every time you needed to change water source.
Wondering if a second pipe line would prevent the strenuous moving of the current pipe allowing a disconnect then re-connect of pipes as required. This idea supported by a massive reservoir of my ignorance on the matter !! 😂. So admire your resilience, and persistence even when unwell. Better weather is that because of the chinook? Best wishes for Katie’s recovery - and yous of course. Phil, Suffolk, U.K. 🇬🇧
I love the color of your siding and I'm glad you guys are feeling better and I really enjoy your videos ❤
I hope you, s are feeling better take care of yourself and I will see you on your next video
You two are amazing. I love to watch you to work.
Hope you both get well soon.
The thing so few people talk about is the effects of the poles shifting (and continuing to shift until they eventually completely flip) on the magnetic field of the earth and the sun creating much wilder swings of weather and unfortunately eventually creating a catastrophic event when they eventually flip completely. Those that don’t know, this happens roughly every 7,000 - 6,500 years and is devastating to the climate and all the animals (including humans). If you didn’t know, the current trajectory has them completely flipping very soon and the rate at which they have been moving has sped up significantly over the last couple of decades. You can track this by the constant moving of the airport airstrips as they have to constantly renumber them due to the movement of the lat/long lines. Crazy times
From what I saw, there is a struggle with the water line each year. It appears a change of some sort is indicated. I predict more snow for you.
Have good dasy!
Hope you both feel better soon both of you xx
Hi Guys I live in Australia (Melbourne) and all summer we have had an average of 25 degrees Celsius and 2 years ago same time it was 36-42 degrees ridiculous worst summer ever
About time you got that wall sided. 🤣
Hey you two you should make a hose reel that goes to the pto on the tractor so it winds up like a garden hose it would pull straight
If you pull your poly pipe up from the middle you won't have a loop to tangle every few feet. That is unless your looking for extra drama.
The end is in reach, guys. It is usually at this point where we start neglecting safety and start working faster. Don't do that! Injuries do not speed up the job, the slow the job down.
Sorry the love of your life is sick .I hope she’s gets better soon I have a guestion for you ?Are you going to put your water line under ground one day.I know it will be a lot of work,but wouldn’t make things easier one day.Hope both of you feel better soon.Ed from Michigan
I understand that hiring a professional to assess your land for best location to drill for water & drill a well is a expensive investment, but it is just that a investment, just like your tractor is a investment. Not only would it provide you with a stable source of water but also piece of mind knowing god forbid something we’re to happen to you that Katie wouldn’t be left trying to keep water flowing to your homestead. Not to mention the future time that would be saved for other projects by drilling a well & running underground piping to your home. Just something to consider & think about.
I hope Katie wil be batter soon and youmy friend have it to so take care off you to
Hope y'all feel better soon
That wall looks great, and I am sure you are happy to see it done. Glad you guys are feeling better, still have the afterlying symptoms, I call the dregs, but I am sure you will take any improvement. I had the flu for two weeks, it was horrible.
Maybe a job for the list clearing the route of the pipe and collecting fire wood take care you do live in a great place
Hopevyou both feel bettrr. Great news about the water
Ready for Florida now? 😂 Ill admit, its been pretty cold here as well, sonetimes getting into the low 50's, but it seems a tad better than there...lol 😂😅 The siding and trim on the side of your home turned out fantastic! Love ya'll ❤️
Get well soon.
Your videography is getting really nice! Keep up the good work!
Later in vlog I see u r both a little recovered? Glad for this. Have a good trip Katie (spelling?) Phil.
Should rig yourself up a hose pulley system from tank to the Spring box, hang pulleys every 50’ and get the line up off the ground
We still have it in Calgary !
❤❤❤ Big hug from Norway
Hope Katie gets better soon miss her she's a very hard worker your Avery lucky man to have a beautiful young woman like Katie you both work very hard to make things easier for yourself glad to see the siding coming along God Bless you ❤️ 🙏 and be safe.
Seeing this February 10th. Just came out of several days 50°+. Cooler temps are coming. Get you some echinacea capsules. Keeps your immunity up, even got us through the pandemic.
At last ....an early spring.
sorry you are both sick.😀hi from Colorado Springs 😀
You know they say " Where theres a Will There is a way " it just takes a little thinking.
TAKE CARE and GET BETTER
Good afternoon to you all
Great to see u both feeling better. I would suggest you buy more black tubing to put at your water source for winter and leave it there year around..and.keep the one u just put on the spring there year around so you don't have to move the line from one source to the other. Save work. Just connect the one to the house when season's change. Would that work?
Its like this all over including the north East no winter and it sucks..
🎉, well I guess you two are better now than end of January keep up with the great work love your videos thank you Pete cape town south Africa looking forward to seeing you soon 😅
Great job. Glad you finished. Hi from. Texas
Feel better you two
Get well guys !!!🤞🤞🤞
Idea how about running your line like maple sap collection higher in the trees
Man that dog getting big
A lot of work but worth it in the end! Both of you get better fast!
just an idea Greg go look at nomadic movement did their pump to get water from their spring to their cabin maybe that would work in your situation
Greg, you are a trooper like Kati said. I remember how Kati was a trooper when Greg was down. You are an unusual couple in that you work so well together and take up the slack when the other is sick or gone. Oh! That table bent/bowed soo much when you picked it up! That better be your next big purchase! Looking forward to the next video! That big wall looks great!! One more thing.- Greg, I really enjoy when you share your thoughts with us. Your comment about having to fix the water and all the trouble it can be - I’m glad you enjoy your time living where you do and the extra work that is involved to fix some things compared to “city living”. (That wasn’t your exact statement) When you get older, I think you will really appreciate your time living on the mountain and be proud of the work you and Kati did.
Sorry to hear you both are sick. Although I hated wearing masks during covid, maybe think about wearing one when going into town. Masks must work to some point. Use anti-bacterial hand sanitizer as soon as you get into car. Anyhoo. I miss Katie when she isn't here. But, I enjoy your story telling. We All should be thankful for the lives we live. Some people are not so lucky having their homes, cities and lives blown to pieces by war. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to watching your stories every Sunday & Wed. of your building your homestead, raising your farm, garden & all.. sharing growing together as partners in life. Its such a great story to watch unfold. Please don't change..lol
Great job!
Good job, great to see that side of the house now done. Is it not possible to sling the hose pipe and attach from tree to tree all the way up to the house. This would prevent snagging and might protect the pipe. All the best from North Yorkshire, England.
Looking good!!!
Feel better❤
This is so AWESOME 🎉 well done!!
Respect!
Good job. Its comming along
Looks great
Sure miss it when Katie is out of the picture. Glad she is feeling better!
You live in a forest using a few trees will thin out an area and improve conditions for the
Other trees to grow better. By clearing a small area and throwing out some grass seed
Will give a lot of forest creatures a place to feed.
You can harvest some trees and if done correctly you help not hurt your forest
Just find someone to teach you how. I have seen a video about it B4
